Full transcript basically
'I thought f****** Leicester were f****** amateur,' said Castrogiovanni. 'He was saying that people go for the money but he has a lot of f****** squad players who get paid as well. I paid my own f****** money to leave this club. I don't need the money to play rugby. I love this game and I used to love this club – I still love this club, but when people are up to here in water, they talk this talk but don't walk the walk.
'I never want to speak with Cockers anymore. I am the kind of guy that if I hate you, if you are not clear with me or if you have been a c***, how you say in English, I never want to speak to you anymore. That's it. That's how I am. I am not fake. If I hate you, I say in your face and I will never speak to you again. Love me or hate me. I don't hate anyone. Peace and love. I just don't like c****.'
'I never had the opportunity to defend myself when I left,' added the 33-year-old. 'People talked about this s*** and money. Cockers talks about the money, but the real reason I left this club is because you have Cole and you have me. Cole paid gets paid half the money from the RFU and I am foreign.
'What the f*** you want? You have a good f****** tighthead prop playing for England and a hairy fat Italian. The thing is that they made it look like I went for the money but I paid £100,000 from my pocket to leave this club because I want to play rugby. That's it.
I always love this club and I wanted to clarify and talk face to face, which is something Cockers never does. I think in the last few years people are getting sacked and this club was not like that before.
'They used to respect people, now they act like nothing is going on. That is not from the club, that is from the guys in charge. Everything you do in your life - good or bad - will come back to you and they sack people who have been at this club for 17 years. When I get to this club it was all about the shirt and the badge.'
COckers reply
I've a lot of time for Castro – he's a fantastic player and icon for this club and a great guy,' said the Tigers coach.
'I always said I would pick on merit and I did. Dan Cole was third choice behind Julian White and Castro and worked hard to become first choice. Castro was released from his contract a year early and we agreed a transfer fee with Toulon. One day he'll realise that's just sport.
'This club made him the player he was. I don't want him to feel bitter towards us. One day we'll have a beer together and smile about it.'

Owens gave just as much to Toulon as he did us imo more. IMO Toulon were lucky with the decisions.
Castro is a whiny baby about Cockers and the Tigers backroom because cole was ahead of him and also we made him pay for himself to be released from his contract when Toulon back out of original deal.
so amateur.......
